At the time, I thought this was my story. I was wrong. It was hers.

This story felt as "in-between" as its titular character and its beautiful setting. I can't say I'm abundantly clear on everything that's happened in it, but the author surely knows how to set the mood. The imagery is evocative, and the prose flows well. I could practically hear the sea waves in my ears as I read. I liked the inclusions of Scottish Gaelic, even though it made the story more challenging to process for me (I hardly know more than a few words in that beautiful language). Overall, it feels exactly like an old legend told by a campfire.
